you'll recognise the last one from my other post ;) there are quite a few angles you can work on that final fence, which means brocklesby park is one of the few places where my legs get a bit of a rest!
unfortunately some of the angles didn't work out for one reason or another, even though I've used them successfully in the past. as a result the shots below are a touch samey :/

I really like that second to last one... although I'm not sure if it's standing out to me because it is so different from the others. I wish those cars weren't there in the background though.
Do you ride at all, Jon?

I don't do too many head-on ones like that, but I should as they tend to have more chance of being published (editorially-friendly aspect)
The cars park right up to the fence at this course, and the light means you have to shoot that side of the track - I tend to get as low down as I can to try and remove the cars but you'll always get some of them in there. That shot was taken with my 1.4tc added to my 70-200 f/2.8, and was shot fully zoomed in @ 280mm, f/4
I don't ride - I did have some lessons as a kid, got as far as being able to 'bounce' whilst trotting, but haven't ridden since - it's not really the done thing for city boys, and besides, I prefer this sort of mount: :D

Strictly speaking no, you can't fetch raw meats
But for sure we'll have to hook up and do a few laps! Nearer the time feel free to chat about good places to stay / what to bring etc etc
